Did you know that one of the most powerful explosions in recorded history occurred in a remote part of Siberia in 1908? Known as the Tunguska event, this explosion flattened an estimated 80 million
trees over an area of 830 square miles. The cause is believed to have been a meteoroid or comet fragment that exploded in the atmosphere, releasing energy equivalent to 10-15 megatons of TNT.
Despite numerous expeditions, no impact crater has been found, making the Tunguska event one of the greatest scientific mysteries of the 20th century.- Please Like, Subscribe and hit the Notification Button.

"From Radar to Kitchen: The Surprising Origins of the Microwave Oven"
Did you know that the invention of the microwave oven was actually a happy accident? In 1945, Percy Spencer, an engineer working with radar technology during World War II,
was conducting experiments with a new vacuum tube called a magnetron. One day, while working with the magnetron, he noticed that the chocolate bar in his pocket had melted.
Intrigued, Spencer placed some popcorn kernels near the tube and watched them pop. This led him to experiment further, and eventually, he invented the first microwave oven.
His accidental discovery revolutionized cooking and led to the widespread adoption of microwave technology in households around the world.
So, next time you use a microwave oven, remember that it all started with a simple mistake and a curious engineer!
